ive been on liquids for 2 weeks and dr said i have to be on liquids 2 more weeks anyone else deal with this. everyone else seems to be on the mushy stage after 3 weeks!

I am with you, Sleeved Aug 6. Put on liquids 7 days out and next Doc appt. 4.5 weeks

out. Thats the soonest to be put on purea foods, than softs and real food.So, for me

it will be 7 or 8 to eat real food. This is my Docs plan for everyone an he has been great,

he is very cautions with everthing.I was on clear liquid 2 week pre op So, it will be 8-10

week with no real food. That ok, I feel great, off 5 out 6 Meds and losing. Hang in there

it will get better.

Positive Thoughts

I have been on liquids for 4 weeks. After my first post op visit I was told my stomach was still swollen so I had to stay on liquids for two more weeks. This has been the first week I try mushy foods. Although I've only tried a couple of tablespoons of egg, I'm trying to slowly try some form of food. I still mostly drink my liquids and I'm about to finish my 5th week Monday.

My surgeons nurse told me I will be on liquids only for 8 weeks total. This includes 1 week pre op. My doctor is extra cautious with the sleeve versus bypass post op diet. So, you aren't the only one! Be strong.
